木偶奇遇记 第95期:匹诺曹拒捕(4)
英语课
As soon as the Fisherman pulled him out, his green eyes opened wide with surprise, and he cried out in fear: "What kind of fish is this? I don't remember ever eating anything like it."
渔夫一把他抓出来，两只绿色大眼睛登时惊呆了。他几乎是害怕地叫起来：“这是什么鱼？我想不起我曾经吃过这种鱼！”
He looked at him closely and after turning him over and over, he said at last: "I understand. He must be a crab 1!"
他把他靠近仔仔细细地看了一遍，最后说：“我明白了。他准是一只螃蟹。”
Pinocchio, mortified 2 at being taken for a crab, said resentfully: "What nonsense! A crab indeed! I am no such thing.
皮诺乔因为当作了螃蟹而羞愧难当，生气地说：“胡说！什么确实是螃蟹？我不是那种东西。
Beware how you deal with me! I am a Marionette 3, I want you to know."
小心点对我！我得告诉你，我是一个木偶。”
"A Marionette?" asked the Fisherman. "I must admit that a Marionette fish is, for me, an entirely 4 new kind of fish. So much the better. I'll eat you with greater relish 5."
“木偶？”渔夫问。“我必须承认，木偶鱼对我来说是一种全新的鱼。那更妙了，我会更享受吃你的。”
"Eat me? But can't you understand that I'm not a fish? Can't you hear that I speak and think as you do?"
“吃我？可你不知道我不是鱼吗？你没觉得我跟你一样，会说话会思想吗？”
"It's true," answered the Fisherman; "but since I see that you are a fish, well able to talk and think as I do, I'll treat you with all due respect." -"And that is--"
“那倒不错，”渔夫回答说，“我看在你是一条会说话、会思想鱼的份上，我会给你应有的礼遇。”－“那么那是指……”
"That, as a sign of my particular esteem 6, I'll leave to you the choice of the manner in which you are to be cooked.
“为了表示对你的特殊敬意，我让你自由选择怎么被煮。
Do you wish to be fried in a pan, or do you prefer to be cooked with tomato sauce?"
你是要在锅里炸呢？还是想被加上番茄酱一起煮呢？”
"To tell you the truth," answered Pinocchio, "if I must choose, I should much rather go free so I may return home!"
“说老实话，”皮诺乔回答说，“如果一定要我选择的话，我宁可选择自由，可以回家去。”
"Are you fooling? Do you think that I want to lose the opportunity to taste such a rare fish?
“你在开玩笑吗！这么一条少有的鱼，你以为我会放过机会不去尝它吗？
A Marionette fish does not come very often to these seas. Leave it to me.
在这里海上很少有木偶鱼，让我来办吧。
I'll fry you in the pan with the others. I know you'll like it.
我把你跟其它的鱼一块儿放在油锅里炸，你会满意的。
It's always a comfort to find oneself in good company."
有别人作伴总归是一种安慰。”
